WASHINGTON LETTER i.
Washington, Jan. 81, 1873


Congress began last week with some
sweeping pension legislation. Its at
tention was then turned to matters of
local interest, appropriation bills, mis-
cellaneous business, and the discussion
of the bill for establishing Agricultural
Experiment Stations. 1t became STIR
red tor a day over the question of in
vestigating the management of the Pa
cific Railroad;-and the House finally
settled down to deliberate over the In
~terstate Commerce bill, which the Sem
ate pass last week.
When the President sent a special
message to Congress asking that suita-
BILE action be taken for celebrating the
Centennial of the adoption Of the Con-
stitution of the United States, he was
careful not to commit himself to any
special time on locality. He chopped
that in a spirit of patriotic co. operation,
rather than of local competition, Con-
gress would proceed, ETC." But the
committee of even Senators, who had
audacity to declare that Washington
was the suitable place for holding this
celebration, have come in for a large
share of criticism from rival cities.
Washington is the only city where
every American is at home, and in
which he feels the pride of an Ameri-
can citizens ownership, and the Ex-
position will be given to Washington
without a doubt. 1t will last from '89
to '92. There need not be a contin-
Gus rush, racket and carnival for three
years, as there would be over a public
affair of this kind in a great CONNER
cial mart. Washington is not that
kind of IA city. 1t cultiyates tranquil
ty of department, and has sufficient
breathing space to enjoy everything in
a quiet way. 1t is used to crowds and
gatherings of all kinds, as indeed it
ought to be, for six National conyen-
tions ale being held here during the
present week.
Some members of Congress have said
that the principal object of the Govern
ment in the Pacific Railroad matter,
was to get what was owing to it. OF
course il is desirable to save $500, 000,-
600, OF as much OF it as can be recover
ed, from those who have no right. to it,
but a number of men in both branches
of Congress feel that the main thing to
be attained is the moral effect ofrebuk-
ing corruption. The Government can
afford to loose the money, but it cannot
afford to agree TO a theft, if such there
has been. The desire to invest igate
the management of the Pacific Rail-
roads is not, therefore, born of a spirit
of persecution; it is simple the duty of
Congress to go to to the bottom of this
matter.
Although the Senate voted to pen
sion the widow of Senator Logan at -,
600 a year, the bill has come to grief in
in the House Committee on pensions.
1t is claimed that to pension Mrs. Lo-

on the State Shooting Match, at Augusta,
and while the boys did not win any OF
the first prizes, they are abundantly salts
fled with the showing they made, and the
reporters on the scene, complimented
them very highly.
The greatest interest was ceniered In
the Company Novelty Skirmish Match,
the championship in this contest, having
for the past three years, been held by Co
E., and this year the boys made hard
struggle for it, being only four points be-
hind the winners, thus giving the I'd
prize, an armory rife valued at $50, and
1000 rounds of ammunition.
The conditions of the match are as fol-
lows: Ten men: rounds 70; Targets,
imitation men and man Oh horse position

four shots were taken at man exposed to
view six seconds six at man running at
